LOGINThey went through all that trouble, only for this stubborn girl to have absolutely no intention of getting married.Now, looking at Charlie, who was chatting in the small hut by the courtyard, both women felt a pang of sympathy.This kid really had incredible patience, huh.“Mom, Grandma, please don’t interfere. What’s between Charlie and me, we’ll communicate and handle ourselves,” Candice said.Mary turned back around. “Darling, listen to your grandma for a moment. Don’t mess with Charlie. If you wear him out and he’s gone, you’ll regret it when it’s too late to cry.”Margaret also spoke sternly. “It’s come to this point, and now you’re saying you don’t want any outcome? What were you doing all this time before?”Candice couldn’t answer.She couldn’t possibly say that before, she had been blinded by desire, unable to resist Ch
Robert smiled, inviting Charlie to see his orchids.Even though these days had been anything but peaceful, moving from one place to another, he hadn't given up on his precious darlings. He took them with him wherever he stayed, especially the 'Plain Crown Lotus Tripod' orchid Charlie had gifted him."I'll go see Auntie first, then your orchids," Charlie said with a light smile."Oh, right, your Auntie is still waiting upstairs. I got so happy seeing you, I completely forgot," Robert muttered, a little embarrassed.Candice walked up to him, linking her arm through his. She whispered, "If Mom knew she was less important than your orchids, she'd pull out all your flowers tomorrow."Robert flinched. "Don't frame your old man! Your mom would actually do it."Candice chuckled. "I'm just messing with you. Those are your treasures; if they're gone, how will you show off to all those uncles?""Come on, let's go upstairs." She released her fath
“I’ve made up my mind.”Beatrice was incredibly serious.Her expression was as if she were about to carry a pack of explosives to blow up the Lawrence family…Denny felt a headache coming on.Candice: Oh no, I’ve caused trouble.She swore she’d only accidentally spoken her mind just now; she absolutely hadn’t encouraged or incited anything.Nicole got up and ran over.Originally, everyone thought she was going to persuade Beatrice, but the little girl opened her mouth, “Mommy, if you go, I’ll go too! We’ll go together to help sister-in-law, and our group will be called…”“Called a pain in the butt.”Before she could finish, Charlie’s hand landed on her forehead.Nicole clutched her forehead, instantly deflating.Ollie couldn’t help but say, “The two of you don’t even have a finger’s worth of h
Charlie's eyes flickered.He leaned back, a hint of mockery playing on his lips. "Modern medicine is so advanced, perhaps a miracle could still happen. Tell Uncle Abato not to despair too soon; maybe Gabrielle's fingers might just grow back.""..."Denny picked up the bookend from his desk and hurled it at his son. "How can you still be so flippant, you brat? When you call Uncle Abato later, don't you dare infuriate him like that!"Charlie offered no comment.Downstairs.In a private parlor, accessible only to family, Beatrice held Candice's hand affectionately as they chatted.Nicole and Ollie sat opposite them.Marlene was too swamped to make it back for dinner, so she wasn't present today."I heard from Jim that your mother injured her foot at your grandmother's place. You went back for the weekend, how is she doing?" Beatrice asked."Nothing major, just that she won't be able to put weight on it or move around
Morton: "..."Damn, anyone who didn't know would think he was on his deathbed!The moment Charlie left, sure enough, many people swarmed him, asking about his condition."Vice President, you can't delay with this illness.""Morton, work is never-ending, but if you're gone, everything else is gone too.""You must actively cooperate with treatment. Take leave with the Chairman, get the surgery if needed, take the medicine if needed.""..."Voices of concern were ceaseless.Morton's head was practically smoking from all the "warmth."In the elevator."Do you have a grudge against Morton?"In the quiet atmosphere, a voice abruptly appeared beside Candice.Yes, it was Ollie who spoke.Candice turned her head, blinking her large eyes, her expression innocent. "No, we have a great relationship. Ollie, why would you think that?"Ollie: ...You're kidding, right?"What did you say in Morto
Charlie's clear, magnetic voice drifted over.The trio: "..."Candice and Jerry turned around.Ollie lifted his gaze."I was talking about you two," Charlie's peach blossom eyes swept coldly over Ollie and Jerry. "Come in with me."Having said that, his gaze shifted to Candice. The chilly glint from a moment ago instantly softened, his voice mellowing by ten degrees. "Don't mind them, go sit and rest in the office."The blatant favoritism was practically blinding.Ollie sneered, a disdainful tug at his lips.Candice felt a little awkward. "I haven't officially resigned yet. I'll go too."Charlie indulged her.Inside the CEO's office, he sat down in his chair and said to Ollie in a business-like manner, "You'll be handing over work with Miss Hale later. If you don't understand anything, ask Jerry. If he can't handle it, then come to me."Ollie disliked his condescending tone.He wanted to lash out, bu
Jerry nodded. “Yeah, I told her to check if you needed help. But she came back pretty quickly.”Charlie Clemens leaned against the sofa, lost in thought.The Next MorningCandice woke up early.Seeing that Jessica was still asleep, she went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. She had only eaten
The other three in the elevator were so shocked their eyeballs nearly popped out: “...?!”Sophia quickly pulled Candice back.Jim and Jerry silently looked away, choosing selective blindness.They didn’t see anything...Candice dropped her head, covered her face with one hand, and rubbed her forehe
Everyone turned to look at him.Those blocking his way hurriedly stepped aside.The people at the factory had never seen the new CEO of the group, but the moment he walked in, his natural aura of authority instantly subdued them.With a dark expression, Charlie walked to the center of the conferenc
Charlie let out a cold laugh.His beautiful eyes were deep and unreadable.“You’re that confident I won’t be able to find her?”Nick sat back down, his tone filled with grievance.“If you want to pin a crime on someone, you’ll always find an excuse. If the CEO wants to use this chance to remove me
